The AERA unit votes on conditions of deployment of Brea/Olinda properties effecting 7 AERA employees. Aera wants to farm out the property allowing another company to operate the property while AERA maintains the ownership and mineral rights. This is an outrageous move by the company and gave the employees affected little time to make a decision on the packages offered if accepted by the membership. A vote was taken and was voted down. AERA was clearly shaken and started making phone calls to the International. After concision's by the company agreeing to use USW represented employees if AERA started operating the property and the right to grieve if the company did not live up to the agreement, a vote was taken and accepted by the membership. The 7 employees had a choice between two weeks for every year of service and separate from the company or be relocated to another location being employed in another job.
